Answer:

For me the answer is

The ratio for the percent increase has a smaller denominator than the percent decrease.

Step-by-step explanation:

From 45 to 75, the increase is 30

If we check the % increased, (30/45)*100 = 66.667%

If we decrease the price from 75 to 45, the amount is same, i.e. 30 but the denominator is changed.

(30/75)*100 = 40%

A box with a square base and open top must have a volume of 296352 c m 3 . We wish to find the dimensions of the box that minimi

Answer:

Base Length of 84cm
Height of 42 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a box with a square base and an open top which must have a volume of 296352 cubic centimetre. We want to minimize the amount of material used.

Step 1:

Let the side length of the base =x

Let the height of the box =h

Since the box has a square base

Volume, $V=x^2h=296352$

$h=\dfrac{296352}{x^2}$

Surface Area of the box = Base Area + Area of 4 sides

$A(x,h)=x^2+4xh\\$Substitute h=\dfrac{296352}{x^2}\\A(x)=x^2+4x\left(\dfrac{296352}{x^2}\right)\\A(x)=\dfrac{x^3+1185408}{x}$

Step 2: Find the derivative of A(x)

$If\:A(x)=\dfrac{x^3+1185408}{x}\\A'(x)=\dfrac{2x^3-1185408}{x^2}$

Step 3: Set A'(x)=0 and solve for x

$A'(x)=\dfrac{2x^3-1185408}{x^2}=0\\2x^3-1185408=0\\2x^3=1185408\\$Divide both sides by 2\\x^3=592704\\$Take the cube root of both sides\\x=\sqrt[3]{592704}\\x=84$

Step 4: Verify that x=84 is a minimum value

We use the second derivative test

$A''(x)=\dfrac{2x^3+2370816}{x^3}\\$When x=84$\\A''(x)=6$

Since the second derivative is positive at x=84, then it is a minimum point.

Recall:

$h=\dfrac{296352}{x^2}=\dfrac{296352}{84^2}=42$

Therefore, the dimensions that minimizes the box surface area are:

Base Length of 84cm
Height of 42 cm.
